PROGESTERONE CREAM 
   read Dr.Wright's article

Women often use progesterone cream during menopause especially to "counter-weight" hormone replacement therapy (HRT- estrogen therapy).  Unfortunately many physicians who prescribe HRT neglect progesterone.  When they do prescribe progesterone it is often progesterone derived from horse urine!  IAS sells only natural progesterone.

Clinical studies show that while estrogen levels drop dramatically during menopause they level out afterward and the body continues to produce estrogen (albeit in much smaller quantities).  But while progesterone levels decline less rapidly they continue to decline until in later life the body often produces no progesterone at all.

Not only do estrogen and progesterone work together to help reduce side effects, one of the most significant benefits of progesterone replacement is the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, the bone thinning disease that mainly affects older women.

Progesterone cream can be applied topically using the fingertips to the face, neck, upper chest, breasts, behind knees, inner arms or inner thighs, the site should be rotated daily.  Doses are one quarter to one half teaspoon (half a teaspoon of this cream provides 26mg of progesterone and 16mg pregnenolone).

Menopausal women should apply progesterone cream for 21 days, discontinue usage for 7 days, and then repeat. 

See Esnatri for natural estrogen replacement cream.
